I could see us going WR in 2nd or 3rd round

02-25-2012, 03:26 PM

With MM pretty much gone, and it is not a lock that we re-sign Devin Thomas, that leaves us Barden or Jernigan to take up the #3 role. I am sorry but I have no confidence in either. I say we go WR in round 2 or 3. I saw a post that the TEs did not ahve great combines, aka not worth a 1 st round pick. From that Im would say either Oline or Secondary guy in 1st.

i think Jernigan will capitalize on his chance at being #3.* hes got a season under his belt.* alls he needs is pt!

the Giants may bring in someone to pressure Jernigan for the #3 but drafting a wideout at 2 or 3 i dont buy.*

the Giants have more needs than wideout![/quote] having 3 legit wrs was a huge part of our success this season...Jernigan hasn't done anything to be guaranteed that 3rd spot, if HAM is gone I'm all for drafting another WR & the best man wins that 3rd spot..

i think the Giants will give Jernigan a chance to show up. imo drafting a wideout at the #2 or #3 would be like wasting the Jernigan pick last year.

of course if a blue chipper is there at 2 or 3draft 'em.

with the reps Jernigan could man that spot Manningham had. alls he needs to do is catch the ball!

*[/quote] I wouldn't see it as wasting the Jernigan pick...in a way they picked hip up knowing the Steve smith situation wasn't going to work......now we have the manningham situation.....and we all see what having 3 legit wrs did for us this year.....assuming a small school guy with no experience like Jernigan is going to pick up where manningham left off is a big gamble, HAM could be a #1 on alot of teams & 2# on most, not small shoes to fill....

Also, nicks is hurt a few games every season that he's been in the league

[quote user="g_menfan80"]100% drafting a WR in rounds 2 or 3. We have to surround Eli with weapons through these final 4/5 years of his prime. I'm for OL/RB/WR in the 1st 3 rounds. Build around Eli![/quote]
I agree....I think Oline is a easier fix than we think....RB for depth/potential Jacobs replacement.......Legit TE a must.....
But I think some underestimate manninghams role this year, it's alot easier to pay attention to nicks/Cruz when you have some nobody play the 3rd spot......also nicks thank god hasn't missed much time,but has been hurt every season

Build around Eli![/quote]I like in what you have said. There are a lot of routes the Giants can go inorder to continue their success and I say we get more players for our defense. I think that we have a topic about there are a lot of wrs that are going to be in FA this year. Then again, it may be a good ideal to get another receiver for Eli even if it is a back who can catch out of the backfield.

It doesn't matter if we draft a WR early because they normally don't get reps during their first year with the team anyway. Steve Smith is the only guy to have excelled in their system early. JJ12 had a rough start but he got most of his opportunities on special teams. The Gmen's offensive scheme is very challenging and takes time to learn, Cruz got lucky being put on IR in his rookie year because he got to learn ole boy Gilbride's scheme.
